Even though i have the 3" Race Milltek (MK6) I think i would have gone for scorpion now, they just sound a bit better IMO.

Heres a link to both of them if anyone in the know would like to see

(scorpion)
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Scorpion-Mk5-Golf-GTi-Cat-Back-Exhaust-system-Newly-released-system-/271443673646?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Model%3AGolf%7CPlat_Gen%3AMK+V&hash=item3f334dc22e

Would the 3" scorpion make much of a difference over the 2.75" miltek?.
Thing am liking with the miltek is the smaller rear box so should be neater?

Tried youtube to hear the scorpion one but no videos probably because its not long released.

cheers

Miltek is overpriced stuff anyway.
BCS would be a better shot..

Looked It up there on google  buddy, Ideally don't want to spend more than the £480  , So out of the above systems ,  Miltek , Scorpion and I see cobra do one as well , which would be best option?.
the BCS is too dear for me when I don't keep cars that long :)

If you dont plan to keep your car that I wouldnt fit a cat back.... it doesnt gain you anything except a bit more sound.

Why don't you do a suitcase delete (take the back box out) it'll sound more meaty then

any links to this?. OR is it a case of getting an exhaust company to remove it and replace with straight pipe? , Any potential problems with the car  running with no rear silencer?

cheers
